Assisted by Royalty Exchange, we recognise the most successful songwriters behind the biggest hits on both sides of the Atlantic

Drake holds the No 1 spot again, holding strong, while Ed Sheeran fell off the chart completely. Helping that move were the debut of four new songwriters. Michael Busbee co-wrote hits from Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum. Hillary Lindsey worked with him on that Lady Antebellum track, with additional credits for Florida Georgia Line and Lady Gaga. And Lil Uzi Vert landed a spot along with his co-writer Bryan Simmons…

Every track charting on the UK’s Official Singles Chart for the week is given a point value, which is then split equally among the songwriters listed for each, and then ranked in order of those totals.
